Final Summary for the Weekend as Nebraska and Colorado won Q3 games.
The results were mixed. Would have been nice if one team had done something "stupid" and had a bad loss but that didn't/
a) overall the teams above the line were a "positive" for us. They went 3-6, but 5 of those losses were Q1 games, and 3 were unrealistic wins. I would say Wake and New Mexico blew chances. Providence probably had the worst weekend losing to a fellow bubble team in a head to head at home.
b) The teams below the line went 7-0, and that is certainly not good as those are our peers right now. Now 4 of those wins were Q3 games, but they also had three quality wins. We could have used 1 or 2 losses in this group.
